YES, I totally agree. I do not understand Lobo fans being happy for the Aggies. Aggies despise the Lobos so much and would never cheer for the Lobos. I cannot wait until the day NMSU goes down to the FCS level where they belong. This state is long overdue for supporting only one Division 1 program. And, that should be the Flagship program in the state's largest city. Albuquerque!

I’m not saying don’t be happy or whatever however, it’s a UNM board.. It is our biggest rival and I would guess a large % if their fans could care less about UNM. I feel the same way about NMSU. That is why I have pushed for an OT forum. That is where this stuff belongs.

The Aggies were a senior heavy team this year and will lose all their key pieces next year. Things will be back to normal, but they did put together a cute little run with all their departing players this season.

Great job Aggies! I think anytime the Ags succeed, other than when they play the Lobos, the 505 wins. National pub, great crowd all good.
Plus they kicked the Lobos butt the last couple of years.
Makes next year's game in LC something to look forward to even more.
Guarantee I get at least two "hey saw your guys won a bowl game" when I get back to the office this week.

Can we PLEASE put this 505 nonsense to rest?!?!? I for one am sick of hearing it! Makes it sound like the only people in NM who give a rat's arse about the UNM Lobos are those who live in the Albq metro area, and a few up in the four corners area. A very large portion of this state resides NOT in the 505.....but rather in the 575.

Very Good Point! The University of New Mexico Lobos are the Flagship university for area codes 505 and 575! New Mexicans love the Flagship university! Go Lobos!!!!

Glad that you agree. I remember watching a Lobo game a few years ago and seeing a Lobo player wearing those stick-on eye black patches that go right under the eyes. They were back, but had a white "505" in the center. I live in the southeast corner of the state, and I have to tell you that I was a little irked when I saw that. I was like.........What about the rest of us, we don't matter?

lol..don't you live and a whole different area code? Anyway...New Mexico is still the 505...I don't care what those phone nazis say.

My position as a moderator adds no validity to my opinions. I am a fan just like you and as such when I express a view it represents me and me alone and carries no more weight than any other fan other than the fact that I am always right. (Like everyone else.)

Large portion in sq miles, yes. Large portion in terms of population, not really.

575 has roughly 145,000 of the 2,000,000 people, or 7.5 % of the total population.
